Good Morning Roy, Those photos [of the 100 year old document restoration you did for me] are absolutely STUNNING! I'm so glad I got to see them without another person present because I was speechless with a tear in my eye, and that would have been slightly embarrassing. I can’t begin to thank you, and those who worked on the document, enough! Next step will be archival framing to preserve the preservation! We can finalize those details when the document is back in your hands. Thank You Roy, you definitely brightened my weekend, I hope yours is great as well! Warmly, Mark (Commerce Township, Michigan)

Excellent work my friend! Thanks to the whole team! Hopefully see you soon! Take care! Mike Lansing, Michigan)

The frame looks great, so thanks to you Roy. I enjoyed more than a decade of friendship with your dear father, Marty. What a wonderful guy. Nigel (East Lansing, Michigan)

Hi Roy, I am overjoyed with the frames, they match the rest of my collection wonderfully and they look amazing. The ladies helped pick the most perfect mat and frame styles, colors and they executed the vintage look to a tee! I will be leaving a glowing review online for you and your team and will be back with many more projects in the future. All my best, Steve (Lansing, Michigan) [Google review: Having taken some custom pieces here in the past with outstanding results, Saper was my first choice for framing some additional rarities in my collection. Roy, Jennifer and Erin shared some great insight and suggestions into my framing projects and helped find just the right mats, frames, glass and archival materials along with nailing my esoteric vintage hardware accoutrement requests - putting the perfect icing on the cake! Execution and meticulous craftsmanship were truly exemplary and once again, even decades later their work is just as breathtaking as in the past - adding museum grade protection, value and aesthetics to my pieces. You can trust your finest relics to be delicately handled and treated with the utmost care and respect here. Kudos Saper Galleries, as always you are the best!]

Now that we live over here in Western Michigan, I don't get an opportunity to visit your lovely gallery very often, so it is nice to be able to keep up with what is new at Saper Galleries. Plus, your "Memories Through the Decades" really brings back a lot of fond memories of discovering the myriad of amazing artistic wonders you managed to present to the mid-Michigan community through your incredible gallery exhibitions! ...Next time I am in the Lansing area I'll be sure to allow some extra time to make it to your gallery and get inspired once again by all the beautiful art you have displayed. Best regards...! Tom (Spring Lake, Michigan)

Congratulations on building one of the finest art galleries in the country! Kindly, John (Ada, Michigan)

Hi Roy, It’s hard to believe that your business has been in existence for about 40 years! I remember going to your house to get pictures framed.

Jackie (East Lansing)

Cassy and I love visiting your gallery. It's become a standard for us. And, we hope to visit more often.

Wonderful, Roy! You have to be very proud and happy about all your accomplishments! I know how hard you work for all your many artists! Everything that you do, Roy is top of the line, perfect.

Hi Roy! It’s always a pleasure to read over your newsletters and fondly recall several of the museum quality exhibitions you have mounted in East Lansing over the years! Now that we live over on the west side of the state, we unfortunately aren’t able to visit your magnificent gallery as often as we’d like, but we take great pleasure in the daily enjoyment of our art collection that you (and your gallery associates) have had such an important role in helping us acquire and properly display. Above all else, the two things we miss most about the mid Michigan area are Saper Galleries and the Wharton Performing Arts Center, in that order! Always grateful for your friendship and wise counsel on all things art related. Tom and Jill (Spring Lake, Michigan)

Thanks for thinking of me with your impressive newsletter, but even more impressive is your history. I had no idea of your accomplishments. Best, Lou (Glen Arbor, Michigan)

Dear Roy, Jennifer and Annette, Thanks to all of you for the wonderful artwork and framing we are enjoying in our new Michigan home! Tony did an excellent job hanging the pastel, and I helped a little. It was a project. Ha ha. Roy, thanks for your excellent email with all the links which I have looked through and have appreciated. The artists and processes are all incredible. The flip book is fantastic! What an amazing way to view a number of paintings/pastels. I will definitely want to purchase a couple of his giclees - just need to decide which ones. You have all been a pleasure to work with and I appreciate your insight into art and framing. So, thanks again for everything and I look forward to coming to your gallery again soon. Best regards, Theresa (Williamston, Michigan)

Thank you. Your framing was impeccable. Timothy (Michigan)

Dear Roy, That silver sculpture of a couple [my wife] found in your gallery for our 25th anniversary is one of our dearest treasures still. You have enriched our community in general and so many people in particular through your commitment to art and artists and students, and through your personal courage [related to your cancer challenge] as well. Thanks so much, Peter (East Lansing, Michigan)

I came to you because another frame shop in East Lansing wanted to charge me $100 more for the same frame. Marcia (Dimondale, Michigan)

@SaperGalleries is a true gift to our community. Roy, you are very special to our family. (Jamie, via Twitter)

Thanks Roy! When I first saw [the Randall Higdon on your web site], I just knew that I loved it. And then when I saw it in person, I loved it even more. My husband and I are in our 60s and this year we felt the need for a change in our home. As a result, we are attracted to abstract art for the first time. When I read that Randall Higdon had made a similar shift, I just knew it was meant to be. Thanks again, Julie (Richland, Michigan)

The [two Frederick Phillips artworks] could not be any more magnificent! Worth the wait! Simply amazing! Thank you so so so much! Kim (Lemont, Illinois)

I will enjoy looking at this painting every day. Thank you again, Jim (Michigan)

Hi Roy. We love the new frame. Your team did a great job. I walked through your gallery the other day and it was so enjoyable. We haven't gotten out much because of Covid so it was a treat to be surrounded by such wonderful artwork. Can’t wait until we can be with friends and family without risk and worry. Chris (Lansing, Michigan)

The [Frederick Phillips] was VERY well packaged. I will look to you and your gallery if I decide that I need more art and highly recommend you as well. I am so happy and have enjoyed the journey with you! Thanks again Roy, Kathleen (Meridian, Idaho)

I presented the framed puzzle to my wife Robyn and my son, daughter and son-in-law as a gift today. They all loved it. Having this puzzle framed was also a way to honor my son for his creative work on the project. Thank you for your services and I wish you and your family a merry Christmas. Best Regards, Scott (East Lansing, Michigan)

Thank you, Roy [for the Tunis Ponsen framing]! You have the best team; they were so patient with me. And I agree: the framing made all the difference! Hope to see you soon! Kristin (East Lansing, Michigan)

I will definitely send a photo to you when all three are displayed together.... Thanks again for all you help, especially with the framing material. I was quite concerned we were not going to be able to find the same frame, but Jennifer to the rescue! She has some crazy, mad detective skills in her. LOL!

Hello Roy, I just want to let you know that we saw the [Kerry Hallam nautical chart painting] over the weekend in Florida and are really happy with it. I can’t wait to get it framed and hung on the wall that has been “artless” for too long. Please tell Kerry that a friend, who is a high level crew coach remarked on how incredibly well he captured the crew shell. Apparently, in his opinion, “most artists don’t get it right.” Thank you again for your help. Warmly, Ann (Vero Beach, Florida)

I can't wait to have it hung up and will enjoy it daily. It will be passed down in my family as a treasured heirloom because you and your team did such excellent work.

Thanks for all the wonderful work that you have done for me and for your suggestions. I have already been enjoying the images. Roy, I appreciate the quality of work that you always deliver. Thanks again my friend, Chuck (Traverse City, Michigan)

Posted on FB: Long story, but after our moving company damaged our family sculpture which is of great sentimental value, we had difficulty finding a replacement. After a lot of research I found Saper Galleries, and Roy Saper in particular. He spent almost a year going back and forth with his artist in Zimbabwe, and we finally took possession of our new Shona stone statue a few weeks ago. We are extremely grateful to Roy for his exemplary customer service. (Joan, Frisco, Texas)

Roy, Appreciative of your quick responses and excellent communications. Hope to do business with you again! Chuck (Rochester, Minnesota)

Thank you. You really do a wonderful job of selecting intriguing art at many price levels. We are pleased. The [William Hays linocut] is already hanging. We found the website journals for both. They add wonderful dimension and story to the beautiful art. Mark (Grand Rapids, Michigan)

Jennifer: I want you to know how very pleased I am with the framing you did. Roy ended up hanging them in locations that I see daily. ...Your mounting of the 12 cards must have been the most tedious of jobs, but I assure you the visual effect for the viewer is outstanding. I was particularly pleased with the Hiroshige. ...I feel so indebted to you for making a memory and a piece of art that much more special. The framing of the Saitos is also most pleasing to the eye and beautifully done. I cannot help but imagine that all your customers are immensely pleased with your work. You are an artist that enhances the aesthetic satisfaction that comes with viewing that which is framed. My best regards, John (Haslett, Michigan)

Roy, My wife was absolutely thrilled with the new [Shona sculptures]! Thanks for everything. Josh (Dallas, Texas)

Hi Roy, Once again, thank you so very much for sharing your time with us. The women could not stop talking about the excited, loving and caring way you presented the art that you love so very much. We will see you again soon. Ethel (East Lansing, Michigan)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The prints and framing look great. Janet and Jim (Pentwater, Michigan)

[The Leslie Mitchell raku vase] is gorgeous! Thanks for all your help on this! You have been great, Roy, at making this happen! It’s wonderful! Leslie (Dexter, Michigan)

Hi Roy - Thank you for the reassuring shipping updates. The Shona sculpture and Hays linocut arrived safely. A timely birthday present to myself. I’m pleased I came across your impressive gallery. Really enjoyed meeting you. Cheers, Sylvia (Victoria, Australia)

Hello Roy. We really enjoy all of the art that you have helped us with over the years! They really enhance our house and make it a "home." Best regards, John (East Lansing, Michigan)

Hi Jennifer, [The framing] all arrived safely, thanks for that. Really looking good. Dieter (Belgium)

Roy: When I got back to Grand Rapids, I unrolled the [Hessam].... I love the color palette, the Mediterranean feel of the work and its distinctive look. It will make a great focal point in the living room.... Thanks for all your help. I'm sure we'll be seeing each other again in the future. Eric (Grand Rapids, Michigan)

From Facebook: Saper Galleries worked tirelessly to colorize an aerial view of my family farm, taken in 1968. Staff at the gallery were helpful and very patient with me. Thank you Saper. Julie

Roy, Just a quick note to let you know the Eric Waugh was delivered safe and sound. Thanks much to you and your staff! David (Wichita, Kansas)

Mr. Saper, I just got home from work and was thrilled to see a beautiful cardboard box from Saper Galleries sitting in my living room. If Jennifer doesn’t already have an advanced engineering degree, she rightfully has earned one for her role in wrapping that Nemtoi. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Job well done. NASA would be in awe of the TLC that vase received. Obviously it took a while to get to the Nemtoi, but it was well worth the wait. I knew it would be gorgeous, but it is so much more. ...It truly is a very special work of art. I am thrilled to have it in my home. Thank you so much for all you and your staff did to allow that vase to travel from East Lansing to Grafton. That was no small task. I know a tremendous amount of time and effort went into ensuring its safe travel. I love admiring the works of art on your website. You have a fabulous gallery and even though I can only admire it from afar, your website allows me to feel that I am right there. I am sure that I will contact you again in the future for another work of art that has captured my interest. Thank you so much for an absolutely fantastic art experience. Sincerely, Mike (Grafton, Wisconsin)

Hi Roy, I received the [Leon Roulette] painting yesterday and it is BEAUTIFUL. Bev loved it and so do I! Once again, you have come through for us and gone the extra mile. We are so appreciative, and hope that you'll pass on our gratitude to Mr. Leon Roulette. What a wonderful moment to open the box and see our beloved painting in absolutely vibrant colors! All the best to you, and when we have opportunity, we'll certainly come to you again for our artistic needs. Eric (Elk Grove, California)

Thank you for faithful service above and beyond to artists in this area. No one else is doing what you do, as well as you are. Art makes all life tolerable so there is no telling how much blessing your gallery has spread about. We pray you continue with great prosperity. Marilyn (East Lansing, Michigan)

Hi Roy -- I simply cannot thank you enough [for the Eric Waugh artwork]. You are like a dream maker for me on this -- it is my birthday gift to myself and perhaps the best ever. Thank you so very much! You're the best business I've ever done business with. I cannot believe how beautiful it is. I cannot stop looking at it. It doesn't even seem real that it's mine and you, someone I've never met who has no obligation to bend over backwards but did, enabled this. It almost seems not real. Then, to further my delight and overwhelm my appreciation cup, Eric Waugh enclosed a paint brush ... and he signed the handle! I'm just speechless and beyond appreciative. It is so rare today to encounter people like you and Eric Waugh. It demonstrates to me how to be with and toward others. Roy, I cannot thank you enough. From my heart, thank you so much. What a great story of kindness and generosity I have to tell to others. Barbara (Washington, D.C.)

Thank you so much! I love the [Rollin Karg paperweight] that arrived today and it will look amazing on my desk at work. So beautiful! Thank you again. Your service has been outstanding and I will definitely continue to look to your site for future purchases as well. Christine (Chicago, Illinois)

Thank you Roy! I know that I will love the [Leslie Mitchell raku], because I so enjoyed them before!! Take care and I so enjoyed working with you. The experience was effortless and painless for sure. A rarity in today's world!!! Leslee (Saint Petersburg, Florida)

I took a piece of artwork to the wonderful ladies at Saper to have it restored. This piece was a gift to a family member many years ago, and was in horrible condition when I found it. It wasn't worth anything but my own sentimental value. They treated my piece like they would something that was a million dollars! I knew they would do their best to salvage it but was absolutely shocked how AMAZING it looked and their ability to put it back together. It came out better than I could have ever hoped or imagined. Thank you so much for preserving my memory and treating it with so much care. You made my year! Tori (Lansing, Michigan)

Roy, I am thrilled with the mirror and the watercolor re-framing results! I look forward to seeing how the new projects turn out. Daisie (Michigan)

We remember fondly visiting with you during the gallery's early years. ...The gallery stays with us every day as we enjoy the four beautiful Hessam prints that dominate our living room, along with the various beautiful glass pieces.... These continue to remind us of the gallery and the world of art it opened to us as well as your informative kindness. Thanks so much and congratulations, Carl and Joan (Chesterfield, Michigan)

Hi Roy, Thank you for the kind email. I am THRILLED with how it turned out and made sure to leave glowing reviews via all the social media. The women I worked with were absolutely delightful. I have a piece of pottery from Saper that I received as a wedding present and now this amazing restoration piece.... I will gladly sing your praises and send people your way.

Good evening Roy, I got [the David Royce glass] and it is perfect! ...It is as beautiful as I envisioned. Sincerely, Rozalia (Larkspur, Colorado)

Roy, allow me to express my thanks for the opportunity to see your gallery and meet you today. This all may seem somewhat grand as you read, however it is with the utmost authenticity that I send the message.

Prioritizing travel during my life, I have always looked for beautiful and personally appealing art. Many galleries, many cities around the world. Those experiences and “finds” are some of the most memorable parts of my life.

Today may top the list. In Lansing, of all locales (no offense intended, just so relatively close). Your collection of works is, without exception, the finest I have enjoyed viewing. Bear in mind that I have a certain style and artist influence which may be unusual and anachronistic, however clearly you share some of my art passions.

Wow. What a find. ...Accept my enormous appreciation for what you shared today with me and Tami. What a pleasure, sir. You were so welcoming and genuine. My best to you. Josh (Indianapolis, Indiana)

I just got [the Marcus Uzilevsky]! Beautiful. Thanks. Ron (Cathedral City, California)

Roy: It occurs to me that being in the gray and dreary Broad and then walking into Saper Gallery is like the moment in The Wizard of Oz when the film goes from black and white to technicolor. Our friends were so appreciative of the time you spent with us and couldn’t say enough about how much they enjoyed their time in the gallery. A. (East Lansing, Michigan)

Many thanks again, Roy. They truly LOVED [the commissioned Kathleen Chaney Fritz oil painting wedding gift]!! Frank (Louisville, Kentucky)

Hi Roy, Your staff did such a beautiful job and we figured out the most beautiful frames for each piece. I had delayed framing them for two years thinking they would cost a fortune. They were very reasonable. I guess the frames were from a new line so it was good I waited. Martha (East Lansing, Michigan)

Thank you to Mr. Roy Saper from the Saper Art Gallery in East Lansing as you made our day on March 10th. What started off as a simple trip to the gallery to see a new exhibit by artist David Herzig turned into something magical as after asking if someone could be available for a few minutes to talk to us about what art we were looking at. After a brief wait, our host passionately came around the corner, and with his wealth of knowledge and love for the arts, Roy filled our hearts and minds with a greater understanding of the watercolor exhibit we encountered and all of us walked away in awe! Thanks Roy, we will be back! Crosaires Residence, (Williamston, Michigan)

Hi Roy, Thank you for judging [the art competition] and for taking the time to look closely at the students' work through an artist eye. We could not do what we do without help from wonderful people like you. With Much Appreciation, Tammy (East Lansing, Michigan)

Thank you again for taking the time out of your busy day yesterday to help me. It really means a lot. I know if I every want to buy a piece of art you are the store I will becoming to. Epic customer service. Brian (Pennsylvania)

Hi Roy, Thank you so much, again and again - this Eickholt [glass] is amazing, and now that I've seen it on the LED stand, I honestly don't think we could live without it! My husband loves it, and we both think it's breathtaking! Father's Day evening we set it up and just sat in my husband's office for a while and stared at it. We couldn't get over how beautiful it is and all of the detail. What a talent Robert Eickholt has - it's a shame he had to retire! We both love it, and your customer service is impeccable, as I mentioned before. I'll definitely keep you in mind for future purchases. Take care and hopefully I'll talk to you again one day soon, Leah (Denver, Colorado)

Several times I have been able to select pieces online and then come and pick them up; I very much appreciate your online presence as well as the gallery itself! Thanks again, I will be sure to introduce myself to you the next time I visit. Kathy (Williamston, Michigan)

[My sister] got [the Ruth Faktor ceramic] and was so excited! Thank you! Keep my email on file for new pieces. Angie (Florida)

Roy. I greatly admire what you've done -- 35 years in the gallery business is no mean feat. Thanks as well for all you've done for the art scene here. And, finally, thanks for your support of City Pulse and me over the years. Cheers, Berl (Lansing, Michigan)

Roy -- The [framing of the] print is lovely—just what we were hoping for. Thanks again for your staff’s advice in making this print come to life for us. Kerry and Joe (East Lansing, Michigan)

Thanks very much Roy [for the Rob Gonsalves]. Pleasure doing business with you. Will definitely be ordering again. Rob (Dublin, Ireland)

Liz, Jennifer, and Roy... Many, many thanks for the superb job in framing, matting, and installing our Hiroshige prints.

With gratitude, Janice (Burlington, Ontario, Canada)

Thank you for posting the photo Roy! [Meghan] was excited to hang the prints last night, and they look great. Please pass our thanks to Liz and Jennifer on a VERY nice job (on both).

Dear Roy, My friend Adam and I were in your gallery today and purchased 2 of your Hebron glass vases. Your gallery is amazing. Thank you for providing the history on them, they are wonderful. Also thank you for traveling to Hebron and allowing us the opportunity to share them with others and enjoy them in our home. Thank you. Janna and Adam

Roy, I don't know if you send an e-mail to everyone who gets something framed at Saper Galleries, but you have exceeded my expectations! I was first "wowed" when your staff provided three frame options in about 20 seconds. The variety of frames you have is incredible. And, the fact that I didn't have to hunt through them to find a pleasing option was even better. ...I'm also a fundraiser at MSU and I'd like to thank you again for the many ways you make MSU a better place. Thank you for the e-mail! Warmest regards, Karen (Williamston, Michigan)

Good evening all! I could not possibly be more pleased with the way this latest piece turned out! The olive wood frame works perfectly with the photo, and I can't thank you enough for suggesting it! Don't know how you do it, but you always seem to work a special magic into each project I bring you! I can't thank you enough! Regards, Mike (Lansing, Michigan)

Thank you Roy!! [The Gonsalves print] was a gift for my boyfriend and he loved it! Thanks for all your help!! Georgina (Turramurra, Australia)

Roy, I just wanted to tell you what a great job you did on cleaning my painting, framing it and cleaning the ivory figures. The painting, which has been in our family so long, looks like new again! Thank you! Mike (East Lansing, Michigan)

Dear Roy, I can hardly wait to see our son-in-law's reaction when he opens his gift, the 2 framed diplomas! I am so pleased with the results, simple but so elegant. Thanks for a job well done. Manya (Okemos, Michigan)

Roy: I was at Jeff's the other day to see his new home. Wow! Just looks like LA. He has a number of your pieces and one is a blue iridescent bowl [by David Thai] on his dining room table. It is just fantastic. You are so good at selecting pieces for him. Just want to tell you we all loved it. David Thai's work is beautiful and does look like molten precious metal. Just outstanding. As always you have such an eye. We are fortunate to have you bringing such a wonderful selection to East Lansing. Joyce (Bath, Michigan)

Dear Roy, Recently I visited your gallery and wanted to compliment you on the advertised exhibits that I came to see, but also impressive is just how impeccably arranged all the art is. ...I felt impressed to write a note and send along this sentiment. The [Hessam Abrishami] canvases were so vibrant and moving. Very beautiful. With kind regards, Deborah (East Lansing, Michigan)

Hi Roy- The frame looks great. ... As always, you did top-notch work. Take care, Zack (Okemos, Michigan)

Roy, I just don't have enough words to thank you for your generosity not only for hosting the Junior League at your wonderful gallery, but also for the spirit in which you met each member that attended the event. I sincerely mean that East Lansing is lucky to have you. ...To add to an outstanding night, Nathan opened all of the frames he picked up last night and said that he will never be going to go another business for framing. The work done by you and your staff truly exceeded all expectations. Nathan and I will both do anything we can to steer others in your direction! Thank you again! Sarah (East Lansing, Michigan)

Hi Roy, Your gallery is lovely – really, really, lovely. I found myself being inspired by so much of the work you handle. Thank you. Laura (Mason, Michigan)

Roy: Your staff did an amazing job [framing this special project]! The ... daughter, for whom we created the gift, was overwhelmed with it. It’s now safely on display somewhere in California. We will keep you firm in mind whenever we need a framed item. Count on that! Thanks for the great service! Ed (Lansing, Michigan)

Roy, WOW!!!!!! Thank you so much! This [Robert Eickholt hand-blown glass egg] is gorgeous, and also the biggest egg I have in my collection… possibly that I have ever seen. Just wanted you to know that I received the egg about 30 minutes ago and love it. Thank you for everything!! Nancy (Powder Springs, Georgia)

[Your speaking to my class at the gallery] was--as it has been in the past--absolutely splendid. What a gallery you have, and what a gift for sharing your enthusiasm across groups of people. Thanks. Laura (East Lansing, Michigan)

Thank you very much. I am very happy with the framing -- it adds beauty to my Sister's wonderful work. I will be back as I have a special photograph of a Giraffe in Kenya and want to get it framed. I have always been very pleased with your work. Judy (Fowlerville, Michigan)

The [two framing projects you completed for us] truly are beautiful. Thank you all! Karen (Haslett, Michigan)

Thank you for your e-mail with the appraisals attached. The appraisals are not only thorough, but very interesting. We are glad that we had them appraised and now have them listed on our insurance.

Thank you, Roy. We love our new [Paul Braslow] sculpture and found the perfect place for it in the living room. Jackie (East Lansing, Michigan)

Thank you Roy. I so appreciate your knowledge and ... information! Phil (Bath, Michigan)

Hi Jennifer, Thank you very much for the careful packaging (as always) of both pieces. They arrived safe and sound. The Eickholt was an anniversary gift for my in-laws and the Ruth Bloch piece was a birthday present for my wife. Both absolutely loved them. I really appreciate how friendly and professional you and the staff at Saper Galleries are. I have not always had the same experience with other galleries. You have definitely earned my loyalty. Thanks again, Josh (Torrance, California)

Dear Mr. Saper, Thank you so much for making me feel so welcome in your lovely gallery, a "Heaven on Earth" really. I have enjoyed my visits to your gallery and I am very grateful for the services all of you have provided. I will put the [Ruth Faktor] art I purchased from you in a special spot in my house and think of you and East Lansing with the fondest memories. Your work is very important! Keep at it and keep in touch! Best, Loucia (Nicosia, Cyprus)

Dear Jennifer, Nathalie, Liz and Roy, Thank you so much for the absolutely beautiful work you did framing the picture for my daughter and the elephant embroidery. I love how both of them turned out. I can't wait to give my daughter her gift, made more beautiful by you. I am very grateful. Most sincerely, Nora (Okemos, Michigan)

Roy, I would say [the Stephen Duren painting] is stunning! Please thank your staff for the excellent framing job. Every time I walk by the painting, I stop and admire it! Sally (Lansing, Michigan)

Dear Mr. Saper, I have had a number of pieces framed at your gallery, and have yet to be disappointed! The results have always been above and beyond my expectation. Your staff is extremely friendly and always anxious to assist, making much-appreciated suggestions regarding various framing options.

This particular piece is to be a wedding gift. The artist had written a congratulatory note to the couple on the back of the canvas, and the person who framed the work (I believe it was Liz) created a window in the dust backer so the the inscription can be read. This extra attention to detail is very much appreciated! It makes my gift very special indeed.

It is truly a pleasure doing business with you folks! Thank you all! Mike (Michigan)

[The Paul Braslow Astarte sculpture] arrived safe and sound. It looks fantastic. I can't believe how fast it came! Anne (Traverse City, Michigan)

Thank you so much! Annemarie (Salt Lake City, Utah)

Dear Roy, From the bottom of my heart - thank you for helping me get [our old oil painting] restored. All those years of street dust and cigarette smoke have been cleaned away. She looks just beautiful. Sincerely, Kristy (East Lansing, Michigan)

Hi Roy, Bill and I so enjoyed our time in your gallery and we are thrilled with our purchases. Bill is excited about discovering a Michigan artist that intrigues him in Barbara McCleary and I have been a long time admirer of Kathleen Chaney Fritz and her truly amazing talent. We are both so pleased! Thank you also for taking so much time with us. It was a joy talking with you. I appreciate that you included the links to Barbara McCleary and her story. We will think and take numerous photos through this season at our cabin in Charlevoix and contemplate the idea of a commissioned work by Kathleen in the future. For the time being, we are so happy with the enhanced [Kathleen Chaney Fritz] Brand New Day giclee. Thank you once again for a lovely visit on Saturday and we hope to stop in again in the near future. Carol (Fort Wayne, Indiana)

Hello Roy, It was such a pleasure to visit your gallery and we were touched by your warm welcoming. Your gallery is a delight and we will make sure that our friends visit it. We ... are looking forward to see you again. Convey our warm regards to Autumn and Jennifer. Felix and Emilie!!! (East Lansing, Michigan)

Roy, Many thanks to you for obtaining these wonderful Ponsen paintings. You may remember I have been a fan since I saw the exhibit mounted years ago of some of his work by Kresge and Muskegon art museum and the others. And your staff really helped assist Diane and me to obtain just the right one for our featured wall. It looks perfect. You may not know but Diane and several of her siblings own a cottage just south of Pentwater, MI. Almost every time that we visit for one of our summer weeks up in Oceana county, we love to drive through the old and working orchards in the area and this painting is thus part of our memories and a wonderful complement to our and our children's' lives.

And let me complement you on having two such able assistants. They were both cheerful and helpful. They really know how to assist the customer to make an appropriate choice and then to have it matted and framed with such personal touches and professional care and skill. I ... visited several times to find the right Ponsen, took several home to show Diane how they looked in our bedroom, and then brought home potential mats and then frames, and then they helped me to pull it all together at your excellent shop.

You really have a very special art gallery and I have thoroughly enjoyed the years of wandering in to look at your occasional special shows and regular first Sunday art walks' displays. Again, thanks. Happy holidays to you, Jennifer, Autumn, and your and their families. John (East Lansing, Michigan)

Hi Roy, Thanks very much for the update on the Renoirs! They look great! ... I'm pleased with the work and service your gallery has provided. We sure enjoy the newly matted artwork done by Autumn and Jennifer. Cheng-Yuh (East Lansing, Michigan)

Thank you Roy. You and your staff and the [painting conservator] you have selected are the best! I could not believe how wonderful the painting looked, really quite a shock to realize how muted it had become over the years. Warmest wishes to you ... Peter (East Lansing, Michigan)

Hi Roy. I must say, you and your team are delivering truly amazing customer service! Roy, you are a star. ....I have already told 2-3 business associates about how great your service is. Kirk (Marcum, Canada)

Hi Roy! I love your latest Eickholt additions. I like to see what he is up to and you have the best offering of all the galleries who carry his work. Plus....I really love to purchase from you, my favorite gallery!!! I thank you, again, for your wonderful service and I'm grateful to get to know you. Lynn (Tennessee)

Hi Jennifer, [The Ruth Faktor ceramic] came yesterday and we love it!! Boy, was that wrapped safely and securely - I felt like Houdini trying to break in to see it - the anticipation just kept building! I love Ruth's tiles - now we have two!! It will look great hanging on the backsplash above our cooktop. It was a pleasure talking to all of you. Thank you for your help. There are other works of art on your website that look appealing - we will keep your gallery in mind as we look for other ways to spiff up our home. Thanks again! Warm regards, Gail (Centennial, Colorado)

We love the Gleadow piece and are grateful that you gave us the opportunity to “test drive” it! It was also very helpful to be able to pay over three installments. We will look forward to seeing you the next time we are in Michigan. All the best from Connecticut, Andy

Thank you for offering our community such wonderful things to own and give to others. Sincerely, Joyce (Bath, Michigan)

Roy, A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of roaming your gallery as the local 'drum circle' provide rhythmic accompaniment. I have been in a few galleries around the country, but i never feel quite as at home as I felt walking in the doors of your gallery. I loved the diversity of art and artists. As I think back on the experience what i remember most is the dynamism of color through out. You have a keen eye and your choices of art to display certainly agrees with my palette. I just wanted to say I enjoyed meeting you and the eye-feast your art provided. I look forward to another visit soon. Sincerely, Robert (Dallas, Texas)

Hello Roy, Thank you very much for your assistance. I do really appreciate it. You definitely should come visit. Let me know if you need any advice. We have many interesting art galleries in Moscow. Best, Sofia (Moscow, Russia)

Roy, Thanks for working so diligently to make this [special art commission] happen within the short time frame we have until our event. Dale (Lansing, Michigan)

We are playing with lighting and shelving options, and will probably have a custom glass shelf made to fit the space. Thanks for all your help. After we get all the parts and get it up, I will send you a picture of it in situ. Ed (Williamsburg, Virginia)

My thanks to you, Roy. The Gonsalves books are breathtaking. I shared them with friends and associates at work. They were enjoyed by all. Regards, Fred (Long Beach, Indiana)

Hello Roy! Thank you very much for your prompt and accurate help! The [Gonsalves books and calendars] arrived today. Please, let me know if you will be in Moscow, and I will show you the best places here :) Best regards, Sergey (Moscow, Russia)

Hi Roy, The [Rob Gonsalves] print arrived today, and it's fabulous!! Thank you so much for your prompt and efficient service. My friend will love it. It's so nice to deal with someone across the globe that is prompt - efficient and friendly. Kindest regards, Kerry (Stawell, Victoria, Australia) [And later:] Thought I'd let you know I gave my friend the print this week. She was speechless, teary, and very very overwhelmed. A good result! :) Thank you again for your help. Regards, Kerry

I have [received] my beautiful [Bill Mack work] of art. It is exactly what I wanted. Thank you for everything -- your wonderful communication and patience through this whole transaction. I will be back in the future for more. :) Nicki (Oradell, New Jersey)

Roy, Thank you so much for the appraisals -- on time, professional, with uninflated valuations. In these days of internet commerce, transactions do not always go smoothly nor are the results often what one bargained for. Working with you was the antithesis of this and again I thank you for your excellent work, produced within the necessary timeline. Gratefully, Karlyn (Sandy Hook, Connecticut)

Dear Roy, Thank you so much for your help. You have been wonderful to work with. ...The beautiful [Shona] sculpture arrived in perfect condition. Thank you so much for your attentive and caring service. I am so happy to have something so meaningful to give to my sister.... Thanks again, Sarah (Orem, Utah)

Dear Roy, ... The painting looks wonderful, doesn't it? We are thrilled, and it is a joy to see it on our wall. With your guidance, and the skills of your staff, we have a piece to treasure and, someday, to pass on. As for our visits to your superb gallery over the years, we wouldn't consider anywhere else. As we mentioned to each other, no matter the question or project, one needs to go to the experts, and experts you all are! Meri Anne (East Lansing, Michigan)

Good evening, Roy. The [John Baughman artwork] arrived. Please thank John for the awesome drawing and kind letter. Of course, I must have a [Baughman] Cascade [painting] now so please keep me posted on availability. Thank you ... for making this acquisition easy and rewarding. Sean (Charleston, South Carolina)

Hi Roy; Just to let you know we [received] the "Carved in Stone" and it survived the ordeal perfectly. We are very pleased with this beautiful Gonsalves piece of art. Thanks so much. Ed (Winnipeg, Manitoba)

Roy-the vases are gorgeous. The Rick Hunter vase will be a perfect gift. The colors are stunning. The Eickholt vase is amazing. Thank you for another wonderful experience and for going the extra mile on my change of mind. I just love working with you and hope you have a wonderful holiday season full of many blessings. Fondly, Lynn (Tennessee)

Hello Roy, My son LOVED your finishing treatment of the artwork he gave me. His only regret was that he did not have you frame and mat his treasures from Greece! Hats off to your staff who patiently worked to find the perfect matting and then were able to complete the project on such a short timeline. It meant so much to me. Thank you again for your kindness and expertise in preparing this special gift from my son. Valerie (Okemos, Michigan)

Hello Roy, [The Fidel Garcia] arrived in perfect condition and is absolutely lovely. Thank you for all your kindness and impeccable professionalism. Nathalie, too, was a pleasure to work with on the phone - please thank her for me as well. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday. Gratefully, Andrea (Concord, Massachusetts)

Hi Nathalie, I [am writing to tell] you how much I love my Alvar. It truly is a wonderful piece to have. It looks perfect on the wall in my dining room. I couldn't have chosen anything else that I would love this much. Thank you again for your help with my purchase. Sincerely, Mary (Tacoma, Washington)

The [Gonsalves] came today! I love it...thank you so much for sending it so promptly! I'm sure the Crown Jewels of England wouldn't be sent any more securely than [this]! Joyce (Ft. Myers, Florida)

Hi Roy, Both Gordon and I are very excited about the cherry framing of our world map picture. Thanks for all of your superb framing that graces our home. Jim and Gordon (East Lansing, Michigan)

Dear Roy - Thank you very much for the time and care taken with framing my painting. Jennifer was very helpful and I enjoyed our conversation about art. The painting looks great hung on the wall. Sincerely, Anthony (East Lansing, Michigan)

Thanks to you, Roy, for having such a wonderful collection from which to select unique pieces. Your gallery is a terrific resource in this town and we are privileged to have your artistic competence. I love it that my friend from Seattle, now living in NYC for her sabbatical, was able to select special pieces from your gallery. From what I hear, it looks like a Dr. Seuss could be a next purchase. Thanks for working with her! Cass (East Lansing, Michigan)

Hi Roy, I really appreciate your help. Your appraisal is very helpful with all the detailed information. Have a wonderful day and I will get a hold of you in the future if we need another appraisal. Thank you, Lisa (Vancouver, Washington)

Dear Roy, [The Gonsalves] books arrived safely last week and exactly as requested. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you. Thanks very much for your help, Roy. I’ll keep visiting your website. All the best – hopefully our paths will cross again. Cheers Jim (Canberra, Australia)

Thank you ....Vanessa and I were absolutely thrilled with every aspect of the [framing] process, from the suggestions you guys made to the beautiful finished product. ...We look forward to doing business with Saper Galleries for many years to come. Thanks again! Jim and Vanessa (Okemos, Michigan)

Roy, I really appreciate you paying attention to the details and taking steps to ensure I’ll get the print in time. That’s really good customer service. [And....] I received [the Rob Gonsalves] in perfect condition a couple of hours ago. I think my wife is going to love it. I appreciate your great customer service, and I have already started telling my colleagues about Saper Galleries! Thanks again, Mike (Seattle, WA)

The [Tunis Ponsen paintings] arrived Tuesday and ... [they] all look fantastic. Thank you! Courtney (Bentonville, Arkansas)

The [framing] presentation of the puppets is outstanding. The framing is so elegant, yet Jennifer has allowed the puppets to "speak for themselves." ... It is also incredible how this piece has energized the room. How kind of you to offer to help [hang it]. I so enjoy working with you and your staff. Thank you. Cathy (Lansing, MI)

Hello Roy, Thank you for your prompt appraisal of the oil painting. ...Through the years, Emily and I have always enjoyed working with your art gallery! Wellington (East Lansing, MI)

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for the follow up and excellent service. The [Gonsalves] print arrived exactly as you said it would [in only two days]. I look forward to future purchases with you. Sincerely, Art (San Francisco)

Thank you so much for your fantastic service. The [Rob Gonsalves] is great and arrived in perfect condition. Margaret (Victoria, Australia)

Thank you for the wonderful job you did framing for [our restaurant]! With regards, Dennis and Harry (East Lansing, MI)

Just wanted to let you know that I picked up the two [Tunis Ponsen] watercolors at the FedEx office last week (it’s on my way to work) and they look beautiful! Thanks for all of your help. I hope I have another opportunity to visit Saper Galleries. Maureen (Deerfield, IL)

Thank you so much, Roy. I am very excited about these [Eickholts]. ... I can't explain why his work captivates me so much. I guess it's just as simple as the fact that his work is so beautiful. I really appreciate your amazing customer service, and love your web site. You have amazing works at your gallery. (and later:) The beautiful vase arrived today. As expected, I love it and it's more beautiful than the photograph. I love the separation between the base white color and the swirls of brown and blue plus the anemones. That characteristic is what drew me to the rock paperweight that I also bought. As always, your service is impeccable and I thank you very much. Best wishes, Lynn (Tennessee)

Hello Roy, Well a very exciting day for Sherry and I. We just received the [Bill Mack Elusive Virtual Relief] safe and sound and no damage from the shipment. Thank you again for helping us and for getting her to us safe. We really appreciate all your help and have enjoyed talking with you. There were no extra or unforeseen charges, which again is thanks to you for filling out all the proper [export] paperwork. We are going to be looking again this fall to fill a couple walls ... and yours will be the place we will be going to in the future for any artwork. Once again thank you for your excellent service and for making this a very exciting day for us. (And later:) Thank you again for all your time and efforts with our beautiful "Elusive" [Bill Mack Virtual Relief]. She truly is gorgeous. ... I brought it to my office and everyone absolutely loved it. Your gallery is awesome! ... Your help this weekend has been amazing. Mike and Sherry (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)

Dear Jennifer, The Sandell and Tarkay arrived. I am speechless. The Sandell is beautiful, stunning, and framed perfectly.... The only way I can describe my reaction is to tell you that my jaw dropped and after a looking at it for many minutes, I did a "wing span" hug around the edges of the frame and kissed it several times. Yes, I AM in love with this Sandell. I knew I would be. It is magnificent. I love Tarkay as you know. I'm looking at "Red Hat" as I am writing this to you, and I am in awe of the beauty. Many levels of that. I am so pleased. Must have taken hours to "pack" these two pieces. Outstanding job and I thank you for your expertise in doing this perfectly. Thrilled, once again, with Saper Galleries. Pat (Hershey, Pennsylvania)

Oh my goodness Roy. This [Eickholt glass] is beyond stunning. I'm so glad I splurged again. I LOVE this piece. I never imagined the beautiful glittery bottom ... and I love the shape. This is amazing. Thank you for another wonderful transaction. You're the best!!! Lynn (Tennessee) (and later:) Thank you Roy, Jennifer and Nathalie. My collection is amazing. I can only have such a robust collection because of the fantastic prices. How amazing to have these prices with such incredible pieces. I really enjoy looking at the pieces. I have some in my office and I receive compliments regularly. I've given a few pieces as gifts and have had really positive responses to these gifts. Thank you....]

Thank you so much. The [Volker Kuhn constructions received] are wonderful. ... you are so easy and pleasant to work with. We can't thank you and Volker enough. And hopefully I will be emailing soon to buy the British Flag one. Even better, I would love to one day visit you and your gallery. Thank you for being so professional and such a great representative of his art. Volker is lucky to have you. Sheri (Virginia)

Thanks all, We are really looking forward to hanging [the Bill Mack] and would love to work with you again. You and your staff have made this a very pleasant transaction. Have a great holiday. Nick (New Jersey)

Jennifer, I am happy to say that I received the Boulanger Ninos, Ninos book today. It is quite beautiful and I look forward to viewing from this day forward. Thank you for sending it so promptly. Keep me on your mailing list for any future Boulanger exhibits. Caroline (Larchmont, NY)

Good morning, Roy, I wanted you to know that our wonderful new [Nemtoi] vase arrived mid-week .... It arrived in perfect condition. You guys did a fine job of packing. All the best, Dave and Marcia (Costa Rica)

Dear Roy, What a wonderful afternoon you treated us to at the gallery! I know I speak for all of us in thanking you for so generously sharing with us your enthusiasm for art and your 'pearls of wisdom' in being careful about art purchases. It was truly a delight. Sincerely, Liz and Don (Michigan)

Dear Roy, We can't thank you enough for sharing your vast knowledge of the "Art World" with "The Seniors" on Wednesday afternoon. It was truly wonderful and very much appreciated by all of us. Sincerely, Betty (Michigan)

Hi Roy, Wow, a response on a Sunday even. Thanks again for the quick response. You have far and away surpassed all of the other places on Google that I've tried to communicate with and it has paid off. Pete (Woburn, Massachusetts)

Just wanted to say that I never dealt with someone as quick as you are! Nice doing business with you Roy! Linda (Quebec, Canada)

Roy, thank you so much. I know my brother, Jeff, will be thrilled to receive it. I want you to know that all my interactions with you – and your gallery – have brought joy to my heart. It’s not often in this day and age when one truly experiences that – I believe the Lord brings special people into our lives to remind us that He is here, sovereign over everything, moving in the hearts of his people. I clearly see Him in your kindness and graciousness. You and your gallery are like an “oasis in a dry and thirsty land”!! Most sincerely, Sharon (Virginia)

Dear Roy, Jennifer and Nathalie, The vase arrived today and all I can say is WOW. I can't get over how gorgeous this vase is. You were so right about the iridescence in the yellows and it is beyond stunning. I am so glad I didn't wait too long to buy this. I love it. Thank you so much!!! Fondly, Lynn (Tennessee)

Dear Roy, Nathalie and Jennifer, I just unpacked the two Herzig's and the Tarkay. I am thrilled, a bit speechless, due to the beauty of the three pieces. The framing is exquisite... it is beautiful, perfect for the piece, and worth every cent. Your excellence, care and advice for your customers is certainly superior and I thank you for that. Another BRAVO to Saper Galleries. Pat (Pennsylvania)

Jennifer, Nathalie and Roy - Kim and I thank you for your patience in helping us decide which frame to select. Then we asked you to finish things within a very short time frame. Everyone was so gracious and accommodating. Thanks to all of you. We really appreciated your support. Diane (Michigan)

Hi Roy, Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and your help enabling our visit. You have a lovely gallery with a wonderful assortment of work. I'm a retired art teacher and now full time artist myself and it's great to see places like yours flourish. Keep up the good work! Judy (Ohio)

Hi Roy, Jennifer, and Nathalie: Thanks again to you all for the excellent rendering of the map. We had
guests over for dinner last night and, needless to say, the beautifully framed map on the wall was the center of attention. With kindest personal regards and best wishes for the holidays. Carl (Michigan)

Hi Roy, My order arrived today. Very impressed with the service, thanks. Merry Christmas to you. Regards, Mike (Surrey, United Kingdom)

Roy, ...Jennifer and Nathalie both were a huge help with my decision on which frame and mat to use that will best bring out the picture on my budget. Their knowledge and understanding were both welcome and appreciated. ...Thank you again for all of your help and understanding when I came in there. I am the first to tell anyone that asks that I do not know the first thing about art in any way, except for the fact that I know what I like when I look at it and how it makes me feel. All of you went out of your way to make sure that I did not feel foolish in my ignorance in buying a painting. I will definitely come back there again and will recommend you to anyone who asks if they are looking for any type of art. Thank you again. Sincerely, Ed (Michigan)

To Jennifer and Nathalie -- I wanted to say thanks so much for the assistance selecting a new frame for our Barbara Roberts McCleary painting. We are SO PLEASED with the new frame and the "new look". It's really spectacular! Johnny said the new frame gives a different perspective to the painting - he feels like he is drawn into the scene. Things are coming together in [our] house, thanks much to your help! Julie (Michigan)

Dear Roy, Thank you so much for sending our Britto Blue Dog! He arrived today and we just love him. He was sent by FedEx and we didn't had to pay any tax. Great! Greetings from Old Germany-Bad Mergentheim Margot (Germany)

Hi Roy, Thank you so much for changing the glass to museum glass, that was very kind of you. I always send anything that I treasure to you to get framed because I value your expertise and customer service. Sincerely, Catherine (Michigan)

Hi Roy: The [Gonsalves] picture arrived around 1pm. You did a wonderful job with the packaging! The print is amazing, the colors are much more than I expected and I am sure it will please [my husband for Christmas]. Thank you for your service. Best regards, Sue (Ohio)

Hi Roy, Many thanks - the Alvars arrived safely today; beautifully packed and quite lovely! Regards, Jill (Australia)

Dear Mr. Saper, Today I received the Alvar Suite. They are beautiful! I love them so much. Besides I know now through your gallery more about him, his life, what he has made and so on. Thank you so much for your excellent after sales assistance. Greetings from Peter S of Gouda, The Netherlands

Hello Roy, To let you know both the ceramics have arrived in perfect order this morning Sydney time. The larger one is now in pride of place in our lounge room. It is absolutely stunning.

I just got [the Braslow sculpture] unpacked and she is beautiful! Thank you soooooooooo much. Margaret (Brentwood, TN)

Thank you, Roy, for your very nice note - and thank you to your talented framing experts for doing such a fantastic job on my order. The prints look wonderful in my dining area, and I'll be happy to have those gardens [prints] to look at when it's cold and snowy outside. Pat (Michigan)

Roy and staff -- Thank you for an outstanding effort and results (in framing the jersey). Much appreciated. Regards, Van (Michigan)

Roy I wanted to say congratulations on your recent award. [The Dr. Seuss show] was a fabulous exhibit and I am sure all that attended were mesmerized by the pieces. Congrats. Kevin (Michigan)

Roy, Thanks a lot [for the framing]! It's a pleasure having a resource like yours in this rather small town... We'll be in again. Erik (Michigan)

You are to be commended for operating such a first class facility....the cultural crown jewel in the Lansing area. John (Michigan)

Ah, Roy, this Eickholt vase is beyond stunning! It is gorgeous and I am so pleased. It is a stand out in my collection. Your customer service amounts to perfection which will bring me back time and time again. I think you really "get" what is required to be above the rest. You, Saper Galleries, are the best and I value your integrity and excellence. Simply outstanding job. Thank you. Pat (Hershey, Pennsylvania)

Greetings Roy, ...I am thoroughly enjoying the Bill Mack pieces. All the best, Terry (New Zealand)

Hi Roy! First of all, I must tell you David RAVED about his Redwing framed artwork, and many hours have been mulled over trying to decide just where to hang it. It was the HIT of the SURPRISE party :-) (well, the ice cram cake was pretty popular too!!, but the Redwing frame was the center of attention) Please, please, please thank Jennifer for all of her hard work and creativity! David and I will be stopping in to personally thank you again, but in the interim I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you ever so much. Warmly, Karen (Michigan)

Thank you again. We are very happy with the new portraits in their beautiful frames. Sincerely, Deborah (Arizona)

Hi Roy. I just wanted to let you know that the vase arrived today - a day ahead of schedule!!! ...It is drop dead gorgeous. I imagined that it would be beautiful, but had no idea how rich the colors would be. I'm a huge fan of that deep cobalt color, and this is just stunning. Thank you so much. I just love this piece. Best Wishes, Lynn (Tennessee)

Dear Mr. Saper, Thank you for an incredible archival framing job you did for me .... of Avedon's solarized photo of John Lennon. Your suggestions for the mat and frame were perfect. It's stunning! One of my friends who had never seen it, stopped in her tracks upon entering the room where it's hanging, and after a moment said that it took her breath away. You and your staff are the best. Rita (Michigan)

Hi Roy, I am writing to thank Saper Galleries so very much for welcoming the Broad Undergraduate Academic Services Team to the Dr. Seuss exhibit last Friday. It was the perfect ending to our Winter Advance! Jennifer did an awesome job of leading us on a tour of the exhibit and addressing all of our questions. She was the perfect hostess. The exhibit was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thank you once again for coordinating this "field trip" for our Team. I am confident it is an experience they won't soon forget! Warmly, Peggy (Michigan State University)

Roy, Cathy and I were very pleased with the [framing and paper restoration] results. The framing is excellent. Also, the conservator did an excellent job on the old Lincoln print. It looks better than before the damage. Thank you for your assistance and excellent work. Frank (Michigan)

Hi, Roy, We continue to love our two Seuss pictures! Thanks again for all of your gracious help, and the fabulous framing skills of your staff, which made it possible for us to have them in our home. Cheers, Bob (Michigan)

Roy, The gallery is so wonderful. The quality and diversity of the art to look at can sweep you away to another place. Our friends from Arizona were very impressed. We enjoyed our visit immensely. Cheryl (Michigan)

I went to two other frame shops and your prices were about half of theirs. You should tell people that your prices are less than Michael's prices even with their half-off coupon! I'm telling my artist friends. Maryann (Michigan)

Roy, [The framing] looks wonderful. Can't wait to get it on the wall. Kathie (Michigan)

Thanks Roy -- the [installed] pieces [by Bruce Bleach] look fantastic! James (Michigan)

The Delacroix has arrived and looks great! I continue to be very appreciative of your services, particularly since the pieces I've purchased have been rather nominal; however, you treat me as if I just bought a $45K original. It's a pleasure to work with you and I shall look forward to continuing the relationship. Charlie (Virginia)

WOW!!! You folks do work miracles. Many thanks for all you do for your customers. Joan and Bill (Michigan)

M. Delacroix's painting is exactly what I wanted and you made it happen! My very best to you and your associates! Nick (Baltimore, MD)

Roy, Thanks.... We are most pleased with our purchases and service received. Chuck (Michigan)

Thanks for all of your excellent service and I will surely be ordering more Gonsalves books again soon =) JuLio (Canada)

Mr. Saper, Thank you so much for allowing us to come and visit your beautiful art gallery. What a memorable experience for my students! Many of them have never had the experience of being in an art gallery. Many of them do not have fabulous male role models in their lives either and you were a fantastic role model to them. I truly appreciate the time you took out of your very busy day to spend an hour with me, my intern and my students. They have not stopped talking about it. The discussion you led them in was so valuable and it went along so well with what we are currently discussing in class. Thank you for the opportunity and for the complementary copy of Rob Gonsalves book, Imagine a Night. I read children's books to my students to begin discussions and this is a great addition to that library. Stacey, Resource Teacher, Haslett High School

Dear Roy, Thank you for the fast shipping & handling. I really appreciate it. I will be happy to call on you again for any future purchases.

Hello Roy, Just want to let you know that I received A Change Of Scenery today, June 11, 2007 in perfect condition. I want to thank you for going out of your way in giving me the UV-filtering acrylic and the extra care in packaging the artwork. It's already hanging on my wall, and I'm very pleased with your great service. I would definitely do business with you again when time and money permit. For now, thanks again, sir, and take care. Aloha, Barry (Honolulu)
